Bio

I'm a 25 year old woman who has been through hell and still has a hard time accepting my reality. I have an amazing boyfriend and his incredible 8 year old daughter. I have alot of health problems that have started taking too much from me. It has been really hard lately. I love meeting people. Some of my best memories are from meeting someone new and being willing to reach out. I would say my health has caused some issues because I don't talk about everything I go through because it overwhelms others and so I keep alot in now. Anyway, I'm always open to meeting someone new that cares about others. Sending love and prayers to each of you!

Dealing with Trust Issues

...See more Hey all, I'm Carley. I am 25 years old and am from Michigan. My whole life, I have been very forgiving, trusting, loving and selfless. I trust everyone and give others too many chances. I was raised by wonderful parents, kind of sheltered. When my parents tried to have "the talk" with me, I said "EWWW MOMMMM! I'm never going to do that!" I was naive. Anyway, in May 2013, I was raped twice by someone I had known for over a year and thought I could trust. The first time I was drunk and don't remember much from that time other than something happened against my will. The second time was 2 weeks after and I wasn't drinking at all. I didn't feel well but he tried to convince me to drink before he came over... it didn't matter that I hadn't been drinking, he still did what he wanted. It has really been hard. Since then, I have trusted people, cautiously, and when I felt comfortable, I let my guard down all the way and got extremely hurt... every time. Now, I will trust others but have such a hard time actually trusting anyone completely, even my boyfriend of 2 years. It's not always trust regarding sex, but can be about anything. Although, my sex life has been more boring since that happened. I don't look forward to sex as much and don't enjoy it as much as I used to. I don't know... does anyone else have similar experiences as a result to rape/sexual assault? Carley
